China News Service, October 3 According to Euronet, the European Union News Agency reported that EU leaders will hold a summit from October 1 to 2 to discuss issues such as the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean.

　　According to reports, all parties finally agreed that the EU will review Turkey’s performance in December, and sanctions will be imposed if Turkey’s "provocative behavior" is not stopped.

　　Mizotakis said on the second day of the summit that he was satisfied with the results achieved at the summit.

Because the EU has sent a message of solidarity and solidarity, and has stated with absolute certainty that stopping any unilateral actions is a prerequisite for improving EU-Turkish relations, "this is what we all want to see."
